AI-Driven Protocol Digitalization: Reshaping Clinical Research

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into clinical trial protocol digitalization is transforming key aspects of drug development. By applying analytical and predictive AI, there is the potential to design smarter, more efficient protocols, ensuring greater precision in endpoint definition, improved compliance, and reduced trial timelines.   This article explores some of the applications AI… Continue reading AI-Driven Protocol Digitalization: Reshaping Clinical Research

EMA's Strategic Initiatives for Addressing Unmet Medical Needs

An unmet need in healthcare refers to a gap where current medical knowledge, treatments, or healthcare services do not adequately address a particular condition, disease, or health issue. These unmet needs can arise in various aspects of healthcare, such as the availability of effective treatments, access to healthcare services, or the ability to diagnose and… Continue reading EMA's Strategic Initiatives for Addressing Unmet Medical Needs

Integrated Evidence Generation Strategy for Rare Disease: A Comprehensive Approach Across Clinical Phases

Developing an integrated evidence generation strategy for a rare disease requires careful planning, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and adherence to regulatory guidelines. The strategy should be holistic, incorporating real-world evidence (RWE), clinical trials, and patient-centric data to address the unique challenges associated with rare diseases and to support regulatory approvals, market access, and ongoing patient care.  … Continue reading Integrated Evidence Generation Strategy for Rare Disease: A Comprehensive Approach Across Clinical Phases

RWD for EMA Regulatory Submissions: Differences in Use for Pre- vs. Post-Approval

  Real‐world evidence (RWE) has an increasing role in both pre-, and post- approval applications to support the authorization of new medicines and indications, or to address post-marketing safety concerns. Therefore, the use of Real-World Data (RWD) in regulatory processes at the European Medicines Agency (EMA) varies depending on whether it is being used for… Continue reading RWD for EMA Regulatory Submissions: Differences in Use for Pre- vs. Post-Approval

Secondary and Primary Data Integration in Clinical Research

Secondary data are data that have been originally collected for purposes other than a specific research question. This includes data from sources like electronic medical records (EMRs), medical claims data, product or disease registries, and other digital health technologies. Secondary data are often used in pharmacoepidemiological research to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of medicines… Continue reading Secondary and Primary Data Integration in Clinical Research
